Rate of Decay of Stable Periodic Solutions of Duffing Equations

In this paper, we consider the second-order equations of Duffing type. Bounds for the derivative of the restoring force are given that ensure the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution. Furthermore, the stability of the unique periodic solution is analyzed; the sharp rate of exponential decay is determined for a solution that is near to the unique periodic solution.Comment: Key words: Periodic solution; Stability; Rate of deca

Stability and exact multiplicity of periodic solutions of Duffing equations with cubic nonlinearities

We study the stability and exact multiplicity of periodic solutions of the Duffing equation with cubic nonlinearities. We obtain sharp bounds for h such that the equation has exactly three ordered T-periodic solutions. Moreover, when h is within these bounds, one of the three solutions is negative, while the other two are positive. The middle solution is asymptotically stable, and the remaining two are unstable.Comment: Keywords: Duffing equation; Periodic solution; Stabilit

Existence, uniqueness, and stability of periodic solutions of an equation of Duffing type

We consider a second-order equation of Duffing type. Bounds for the derivative of the restoring force are given which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution. Furthermore, the unique periodic solution is asymptotically stable with sharp rate of exponential decay. In particular, for a restoring term independent of the variable $t$, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution that is stable.Comment: Key words and phrases: Periodic solution, topological degree, stabilit

Quantization Errors of fGn and fBm Signals

In this Letter, we show that under the assumption of high resolution, the quantization errors of fGn and fBm signals with uniform quantizer can be treated as uncorrelated white noises

Inflation with Holographic Dark Energy

We investigate the corrections of the holographic dark energy to inflation paradigm. We study the evolution of the holographic dark energy in the inflationary universe in detail, and carry out a model-independent analysis on the holographic dark energy correction to the primordial scalar power spectrum. It turns out that the corrections generically make the spectrum redder. To be consistent with the experimental data, there must be a upper bound on the reheating temperature. We also discuss the corrections due to different choices of the infrared cutoff.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, v2: references added, a fast-roll discussion added. v3: typos corrected. v4: final version to appear in NP

Response to Comments on PCA Based Hurst Exponent Estimator for fBm Signals Under Disturbances

In this response, we try to give a repair to our previous proof for PCA Based Hurst Exponent Estimator for fBm Signals by using orthogonal projection. Moreover, we answer the question raised recently: If a centered Gaussian process $G_t$ admits two series expansions on different Riesz bases, we may possibly study the asymptotic behavior of one eigenvalue sequence from the knowledge on the asymptotic behaviors of another.Comment: This is a response for a mistake in Li Li, Jianming Hu, Yudong Chen, Yi Zhang, PCA based Hurst exponent estimator for fBm signals under disturbances, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, vol. 57, no. 7, pp. 2840-2846, 200
